Aims To introduce the standard procedure of cystometry and interpretation of the results in children. Methods The literature on cystometry in children in PubMed for the last 20 years was reviewed.

Results Filling cystometry is the core content of a paediatric urodynamic study. In this section, the technique for performing cystometry is introduced in details. Emphasis is placed on correctly setting up the equipment according to ICS and ICCS guidelines, using appropriate terminology, providing indications for its performance with specific considerations for children, and proper interpretation of results.
